What are the symptoms of intellectual disability?

Patient's question:

Our child also has difficulty concentrating and is developmentally delayed, with low intelligence. Could you please tell me what symptoms are associated with low intelligence?

Doctor's answer:

People with intellectual disabilities often exhibit: poor concentration, indifference to external stimuli, or brief interest, and slow responses. Their language abilities, thinking skills, memory, calculation skills, and comparative reasoning abilities are all impaired. It is important to understand the doctor's on-site examination and evaluation (such as language development tests, intelligence tests, hearing tests, dental examinations, MRI scans of the head, EEG tests, etc.), as well as the inquiries, to clarify the child's diagnosis and potential causes before considering relevant rehabilitation interventions. There are many treatment methods for intellectual disabilities, but since the condition of each patient is different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are detected.
